Introduction to the temple:
1, the national treasure temple, the gateway of Emei Mountain, is located at the foot of Emei Mountain, with its back against the majestic Guangming Mountain and facing the beautiful phoenix bag. It is the largest temple in Emei Mountain, known as the first scene of Emei Mountain, formerly known as Huizong Hall. Guobao Temple was built in the forty-third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and was destroyed by fire in the late Ming Dynasty. In the 11th year of Qing Shunzhi, Wen Da Jackson rebuilt. Emperor Kangxi named it Guobao Temple, and its plaque was written by Kangxi himself. After two expansions in Jiaqing and Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, it has now become a magnificent temple with four palaces and four pavilions.

"Black and white washed ox heart" has become one of the famous landscapes in Emei Mountain. You have Shuangfei Bridge, and "Shuangqiao Yin Qing" is the scenic spot of Emei Mountain. Yin Qing Pavilion was founded in 877 A.D. by Buddhist masters, formerly known as Cumulus Pavilion. It was rebuilt in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and renamed Yin Qing Pavilion. There are three Buddha statues in the temple: Sakyamuni, Pu Xian and Manjusri.
3. Xixin Temple, built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, was a small temple at that time. According to legend, in ancient times, it was a place for quiet readers, and later it was built as a temple, so it was named Xixinlou. Abandoned in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, during the Qianlong period, Dehui monk rebuilt this temple. The existing temples were built in the early years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty to worship Guanyin and the pharmacist Buddha.
4. Huayanding, in the seventh year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, was expanded into a temple by the abbot and Huixian monks, named Huayanding, and was destroyed and built several times. Huayanding is located at the top of Jiuling Hill of Emei Mountain, surrounded by Yun Zhou and facing the ladder. It can not only admire the wonder of Jinding, but also overlook the show of jade bamboo shoots, so it is called "Xiaojinding". "Flower Cloud" is one of the famous landscapes of Mount Emei.
5. Xixiangchi Scenic Area, formerly known as "Chuxige", was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, Bodhisattva Puxian, the great disciple of Sakyamuni, the ancestor of ancient Buddhism, once pumped water to wash the elephant in the hexagonal pool in front of the temple when riding an elephant to climb the mountain, hence the name. Xixiangchi Scenic Area belongs to the cold zone, with heavy rain and snow, so the temples are short, and the houses are built with lead, including Maitreya Hall, Daxiong Hall and Guanyin Hall.
6. Wo Yun Temple, built in the Tang Dynasty, was rebuilt by Master Wen Zen after being burned in the early Qing Dynasty. Because of its location on the side of the rock, the temple is like lying on a cloud when the white clouds are upwelling, hence the name. Wo Yun Temple is the highest Buddhist temple in China at present.
